They ran across the soil of Neverland like newborn giraffes, limbs cascading around them. Their head were thrown back as they roared with laughter and smiled freely.
"I beat you James", he said, "I beat you"
"You've beaten me today" he replied, "but I'll beat you tomorrow and the next day, and the next"
"I have doubt you will".
As the darkness fell they would return to Pan's hideout and sleep, whispering secrets late into the night. They would talk about their families at home and how much they missed them, their shared hatred for Pan evident in every word.
Their days were like that, filled with laughter and jokes. Their evenings were like that, filled with tears and secrets.
Their tousled hair and sparkling eyes would glisten after swimming in mermaids lagoon or taking a boat out to skull rock.
They shared their first kiss under the stars one night. It was simple and sweet, smile against smile. Their fingers were intertwined and their eyes were shut. They were content at that moment, in themselves and in their lives.
It was inevitable really, as the couple's voices began to crack and they began to grow taller. They knew that this was what Pan did to the boys who are up. He would walk them to the edge of the cliff and stab them, leaving they're bodied to fall into the crystal water and be eaten by whatever lived there. He would always catch them, no matter how many times they tried to run.
It didn't stop them though. When they're time came they ran. Hand in hand speeding as fast as possible. They should've just stopped and given in. There was no way they'd outrun him. He could fly. It didn't stop them though.
As Pan caught up they didn't notice the cliffs up ahead and within moments they had fallen to the depths below.
They should've died that that day, but they suffered injuries. James' was the worst , his hand being eaten by a crocodile. At that moment the kind and loving James Hook that Smee knew was dead.
His revenge lasted for many years, with Smee eventually just becoming another member of his pirate crew. Hook had become cold and evil, hellbent on killing Pan.
Many years later Hook was on his deathbed. Smee held his hands, kissing each knuckle gently.
"Why is it", Hook started, "after all this time and all I've done, you still love me?"
"There's no reason, just love" Smee replied, a tear rolling down his cheek.
And in his final moment, Hook smiled. He closed his eyes and drew his last breath.
Smee pressed a kiss to his forehead
"I will always love you"
